How to debug Xamarin application on a Windows tablet from Visual Studio?


I built cross platform application using Xamarin, I can debug it for iOS and Android from Visual Studio, is there any way to debug same code for Windows tablet.

I tried remote debugging but my application never listed under Running App list.


Solution

  • To be able to debug UWP apps on a remote device, you will have to install the Remote Tools. This needs to be running so that the device is discoverable and available for debugging.

    You can download the tools from here. Consider going through the whole documentation page here if you face any trouble discovering the device then. There is also a troubleshooting section which might help.
